The Social Emotional Learning position at Rockbrook Camp for Girls allowed me to flourish both personally and professionally. I was able to exercise a lot of freedom in my case study research which allowed me to explore a subject I am very passionate about. The director staff was very supportive in making sure I was provided with all the tools necessary to make this experience a wonderful learning opportunity!
What I wish was different
I wish I was there for longer!!!!
Advice
It was very helpful for me to stay in communication with program directors as this allowed them to stay updated on my progress as well as provide any additional support where I needed it.

What I liked
Inclusivity!! Rockbrook made the staff feel so welcomed as soon as we stepped on campgrounds. Both Laura and Emily helped us the entire time during our internship which included weekly meetings and preparations for our research.
What I wish was different
Have dedicated times to work on our projects. (Maybe during a free swim) There were times where I had to use my free period to work on my project and on top of that, I had to juggle planning other things that were happening during sessions.
Advice
Have fun with it! This internship is extremely hands on and can really benefit you in your future career wherever you end up at!
